It’s like every night (or in our case every dawn) Mike and I were talking about our daily expenses. I haven’t blogged about how hard it is to live in a condo (financially speaking) especially for freelancers who don’t even have a business as Plan B just in case our clients didn’t pay us.
samsung and nokia cellphones
Our recent talk was about how guilty he was for spending more than twenty thousand pesos on his new gadget. He really liked the phone and I am loving it too. And yes, although I am not techie, I did give in when he said he would sell the other phone to me for more than half the price. Yay!

Adgitize jan 2010 points recalculated
When I said I was not that obsessed with my Adgitize earnings anymore, I still found myself bloghopping through the system. I guess old habits are really hard to break. Two days ago, when I checked my earning points, it showed 0 (zero) points in my article and click points. But when I checked again today, they were somehow recalculated.
On the last post from Ken, he said they have adjusted the points and based the earnings on our highest score from January 2-29. And now they added 7 more days to the adgitize ads running from January 21 – February 3.
I really like Adgitize because of their very generous customer service. I think some were disappointed about the glitch the last few days and I think that’s the reason why I received a lot of advertisers from CMF both here and in my earning blog which were blank a couple of days back.

I wished I was bolder of my fashion choices back in high school. Looking through evening fashion tips now, I realized my own prom dress was so unadventurous and playing “safe”. It was black and long, I wished I went for bright and short and bared my legs, and even wore flats instead of those high heels that I despise up to now.
But thinking again, maybe short prom dresses aren’t as chic back then as it is nowadays. And certainly ballet flats are only starting to be recognized as an acceptable prom article these days. Why didn’t it become in vogue much earlier?? It made me realize (yet again) that it’s been a long time since I went to high school.
Here I am, HOW MANY YEARS later, with a daughter that I will be sending to prom myself in a few winks (how time flies!) and a lot has changed in the promenade scene. But I personally think this is a good change. There would be more choices for Yzabella by the time she will be going to a prom herself, and I just know that I will be there by her side when it’s time to pick the perfect gown.

I know I procrastinated again and it took me a week before I post this. Anyway, here’s only a few pics of what I’ve received from the Johnson’s and Johnsons’ Baby Bedtime Discoveries Seminar last January 30, 2010 at Ascott Residences in Makati.
Johnsons bedtime discoveries giveaway
Their main giveaway are those Johnson’s Baby Bedtime Lotion, Baby bath and the Powder. I already have the big sized powder and lotion (aside from me loving the color purple or lavender) I bought those wishing they would help Yz soothe her senses and go to sleep when I wanted her to. LOL Anyway, more on baby bedtime routine on my next posts. And oh, I love the slippers as well. I didn’t know that we’re supposed to wear them during the event. ^^
I would like to thank Winnie the Pooh for holding my Rustan’s Gift Certificate which I won during the Question and Answer game the hosts provided in the event. I would like to share this to my teammates who helped me answer the question from the BabyCenter website. So, pano ba? $1 each? hehe

Women in history have not always been as empowered as the women of today. They were restricted to the point of absurdity (at least to one’s modern mind), and there is one aspect that such restrictions are particularly evident: fashion. It is only late in the 20th century that women’s trousers are accepted in the mainstream, and even now there are reports of places in several parts of the world banning women from wearing them (or as reports say, “tight” trousers).

I would like to be as active as possible, so even though I have to juggle blogging, my day jobs, and looking after Yz, I make it a point to run jog in the treadmill 2 times a week and do my breathing exercises in the water.
the condo pool
I thought I was claustrophobic, but I already have conquered the fear of having something clustered around my neck. I was scared of the water (not that I’m hydrophobic) but the feeling of shortness of breath when you go under or even if I’m standing upright and the water is up on my neck.
Aside from that, I have to show Yzabella not to be afraid in the water cuz she had a recent accident when the Granny left her swimming under water and the life guard had to pull her out. From that day on, Yz was scared to go the pool. Her phobia was wiped out when her Daddy brought her one day to the pool (not to mention us being there almost everyday) and there were kids swimming. From that day on, Yz and I hit the pool in the afternoon when I have time.
